Racing Brain by Susan L.

Friday is drawing near. My mind is utterly distracted in thinking about everything I need to take to my son's for next week: painting equipment including a small CD player, a few tools, work clothes, regular clothes, winter gear for watching the Santa Clause parade at night (Brrr!). Then there's my passport. He lives right on the border so we plan to go across to the States for some shopping. It can't be all work and no play!
My laptop will come with me because the plan is to continue blogging. Maybe not every day, but a few times. I also want to work on a story for December's Writer's group because an idea popped into my head yesterday that needs a bit of research. My travelling art kit can come as well to keep my hands busy in the evening once the grandbabies have gone to bed. It could have been knitting but that passion has fallen by the wayside for now.
The car will be loaded but then a working holiday of ten days means taking a fair bit of stuff.
My friend H is going to come over regularly to give Pumpkin some cuddle time and to keep an eye on the house. I'd debated asking if she would take him home but when he first moved in with me, he hid in the basement for over a week. The change would be too hard on him.
I am looking forward to going and helping out. The hard thing will be to pace myself so I don't end up exhausted. Must remember to take some bath salts to soak the aches away. Note to self: arrange for some sort of coffee making equipment to be at the new house.
Yup, a gazillion miles an hour.
I'm not stressed about it. Isn't that a blessing! And if I forget anything, there's plenty of stores nearby.
Thank You, Lord that I am blessed with the skills, the equipment and a car so I can go help my son and his family. Thank You also for a good friend who will watch over my home so there is no worry. Keep them safe. But most of all, thank You that I am truly rich beyond imagining.
"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Cor 10:31

About Me

I am a mother of three and a grandmother of three. Spending time with them is my greatest joy.

Creating in all its forms is another of my greatest joys: woodworking, gardening, knitting, quilting, painting, drawing and writing.

My almost daily blog, www.sstarrett.blogspot.ca is an exploration of life. It's also a celebration of faith and victory in Jesus Christ who helps me overcome the many trials this ole world tosses my way.
